1 2 inch

[hr]
trigger
1 1 and 1/2 inch yellow tang
1 3 inch algea eater
1 2inch lemon peel
1 2inch bicolor
filter is made for 100-150 gallon aqaurium,wet dry filter
1 Prizm Deluxe Skimmer
1 long tube skimmer, the lfs said it was more then enough for my aqaurium
here in hawaii as far as water for my aqaurium there is a place you can go to get actually treated sea water,for free and that is what i have been doing. so as far as adding salt ,dont need too.
do a water change every 2 weeks but since i started getting the ocean water thinking about doing it once a month cuzz the lfs said they have had no problems with the water.but for some reason,my tank gets cloudy a little bit but the fish r doing fine.
cut back on feeding 1 cube a day and flakes maybe every3 or 4 days,just a little bit.
any suggestions as to whether or not im doing anything wrong??

i know it sounds like its better to get ocean water that is filtered but i would get a big bucket and premix the salt into water from the faucet and let it sit for a few days before doing a water change. you are also overloading your tank. one too many tangs among others you got some fish that get pretty big. get rid of some of the bigger fish like one of the tangs and one of the triggers. if your water is still cloudy get a better filter. also tangs and angels are constant grazers. they should be fed at least 3 times a day in small amounts. and always leave a piece of seaweed in the tank.

That's a lotta fish...
And using natural seawater does not mean that you won't have water quality issues (nor does the size of the filter). So in addition to the tests listed about, it would help to have a pH and alkalinity reading, and calcium too, to know where we stand.
